We Are All Cannibals and Other Essays
The essays comprising Claude Levi-Strauss’s book derive from the beginning and end of the career of the distinguished anthropologist. “Santa Claus Burned as a Heretic” was written for Les Temps Mod
Incontinence of the Void
Žižek took the title for his book from Samuel Beckett and its front cover portrays a man doing a swan dive from a building onto a pavement. Incontinence of the Void does not promise to be a fun rea
The Absence of Macpherson and Strauss in Pocock’s Machiavellian Moment
Pocock's Machiavellian Moment is monumental in its erudition, and thus one may be surprised that Pocock virtually ignored Macpherson's Political Theory of Possessive Individualism in his assessment of seventeenth-century political thought, and ignored Strauss's Thoughts on Machiavelli. Pocock noted that ‘the schools of Marx, Strauss and Voegelin concur’ in holding Locke to be a bourgeois or possessive individualist. Pocock elaborated a paradigm o…
The Cambridge Companion to Edmund Burke
The Cambridge Companion to Edmund Burke consists of seventeen chapters by sixteen eminent Burke scholars who assess numerous aspects of Burke’s life and thought: his relationship to Enlightenment a
Germaine de Staël

Edmund Burke and the Conservative Logic of Empire
The title of Daniel O’Neill’s work reveals its purpose: it is directed against those who portray Burke as an opponent of empire, particularly Sankar Muthu in Enlightenment against Empire where Burk
The Epicurean Stoicism of the French Enlightenment
This chapter discusses the impact of Stoicism in British and American writings on ethics from the end of the Second World War to the present day. The discussion deals with two, partly overlapping, areas: ethical philosophy (especially on virtue ethics, the theory of happiness and ethical psychology) and practical ethics. The main focus is on independent works of philosophy or writings addressed to a broad audience rather than specialist scholarsh…
Patrons of Enlightenment
Disjunctions
Beiner's excellent book is the fruit of more than a dozen years teaching his Horizons course that introduced graduate students to a critical examination of a wide range of twentieth-century political philosophers, some familiar to most students, such as Rawls and Arendt, and some unfamiliar, such as Weil and Löwith. In the 1980s and 1990s, before he taught the course, some of my most enjoyable teaching experiences were team teaching with Beiner c…
Locke on Consent, Taxation and Representation
This article examines Locke's slippery notion of consensual taxation. Locke insisted that property right entailed that all taxes be voluntary, requiring the consent of the taxpayer or the consent of a majority of representatives. However, Locke did not think that everyone who paid sales taxes was entitled to vote for the government to which they were subject but claimed that these taxes were passed on to, and borne by, landowners. Taxes on land w…
Women in Western Political Thought
Susan Moller Okin’s remarkably fine Women in Western Political Thought (1979) had seven printings when Okin supplied an Afterword in 1992 and has recently been reissued with an introduction by Debo
Theology and Marxism in Eagleton and Žižek
Ola Sigurdson has written a book on two of the more interesting and controversial of contemporary thinkers. Two years ago, I attended a debate in Cambridge between Terry Eagleton and the highly int
Possessive Individualism and Locke's Doctrine on Taxation
Crawford Brough Macpherson's The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism: Hobbes to Locke has been republished just before the fiftieth anniversary of its first publication,1 which might constitute an approximation to a scholar's dream of immortality. Possessive Individualism was widely hailed as a path-breaking interpretation of seventeenth-century English political thought but, by the 1980s, was commonly judged to have been surpassed by su…
Imperial Republics
Imperial Republics is a sophisticated, wide-ranging examination of the intellectual origins of republican movements, and explains why revolutionaries felt the need to 'don the toga' in laying the foundation for their own uprisings.
A Note on Locke's “The Great Art of Government
This note explores the ambiguity in John Locke's assertion that “the great art of government” consists in the increase and right employment of “lands” or “hands.” The dominant interpretation is that Locke thought governmental practice should aim at the extension and proper cultivation of land, while others assert that, given the context of the labour theory of value and Locke's concern to increase population, a more suitable interpretation is tha…
Are the judgments of conscience unreasonable
This paper examines the tensions in classical liberal theory – particularly that of Locke and Kant – between reason and conscience, and in contemporary liberal theory between the demands of reasonableness and the dictates of conscience. We intend to show that the relationship between reasonableness and conscience is both unstable and necessary; on occasions there seems to exist a moral obligation to provide public reasons for our conduct and at o…
The Senecan Moment
The Senecan Moment:Patronage and Philosophy in the Eighteenth Century Edward Andrew This piece examines the place of patronage in eighteenth-century thought and specifically Diderot's analysis of Seneca's philosophy of the art of graceful giving and grateful receiving.1 Patronage, in Burke's definition, is "the tribute which opulence owes to genius."2 However, the patronage of thought has been rarely discussed by political theorists, and when men…
George Grant on the Political Economy of Technology
George Grant’s bleak assessment of the prospects of technological civilization owed a lot to his reading of Martin Heidegger and Jacques Ellul. However, Grant understood technological development within the context of liberal theory and capitalist practice. Grant explained why liberalism is the doctrine most appropriate to the development of productive forces, or the most complete exploitation of natural and human resources. Unlike most North Ame…
Hobbes on Conscience Within the Law and Without
This article seeks to clarify the meaning of conscience and to exhibit its role in the philosophy of Hobbes. The author compares Hobbes's philosophy to Locke's doctrine. Instead of the usual contrast of Hobbes, the enemy to the claims of conscience, and Locke, the defender of the rights of conscience, he shows that Hobbes found a place for conscience within the law—the rights of defendants to a jury of their choice, and the rights of jurors to a …

Simone Weil on the Injustice of Rights-Based Doctrines
This paper explores Simone Weil's objections to a philosophy grounded on human rights. Weil thinks impersonal justice cannot be expressed in terms of personal rights. Rights, for Weil, are personal possessions; they are claimed or borne by some subject or person (me, you, her or them). The right or the just, however, is not susceptible to possession. When one substitutes a personal pronoun for the definite article before the word right (my right …
Class in Itself and Class Against Capital
This note argues that, widespread opinion to the contrary, Marx did not make a distinction between a class in itself and a class for itself but between a class against capital and a class for itself. Marx's formulation of a “class against capital” exhibits a political dimension lacking in a “class in itself”; political institutions and arrangements are not simply the instrument or the expression of a pre-existing class structure but rather condit…
Descent to the Cave
Considerable controversy in recent decades has centered on the question of why the philosopher in Plato's Republic would condescend to participate in politics. The analogy between justice in the state and in the individual soul breaks down as justice in the state demands functions of the philosopher for which he has no inclination or expertise. The just rule of reason is possible for individuals but impossible for states, unless philosophers can …

Work and Freedom in Marcuse and Marx
L'article examine le système de pensée que Marcuse appelle la « rationalité technologique ». Ce système assigne, comme fin à l'histoire, la domination de la nature par la maîtrise de ses forces, dans le monde extérieur comme dans la conscience humaine. D'après les tenants de ce système, les projets historiques alternatifs sont une perte de temps et d'efforts que les hommes rationnels doivent repousser.Marx n'a pas été un adepte de cette théorie, …

Inalienable Right, Alienable Property and Freedom of Choice
This article attempts to illuminate a contradiction at the heart of the notion of natural rights. Natural rights are commonly thought to be both inalienable and the property of individuals. As the right or the law is privatized as my rights, her rights, our rights or their rights, rights come to be viewed as personal properties. A distinction is made between personal possession and private property (which entails the title to alienate what is own…

A Reply to William Leiss, “Technological Rationality
Mr Leiss has taken exception to my contention that Marcuse espouses the doctrine of technological rationality whereas Marx does not. He asserts that a re-examination of the original sources will not support such a classification. Since Mr Leiss does not. provide any sources or reasons to indicate why he disagrees with my assertion that Marx was not an adherent of technological rationality, I shall briefly recapitulate the reasons for my assertion…
